Figures 1 to 12 shows reduce strips of a primary tobacco material for incorporation in a cut filler in accordance with the current invention. The strips have been cut from a sheet of reconstituted tobacco having a thickness from about 0.05 mm to about 1 mm in accordance with a primary minimize Filling cut tobacco specification, whereby the primary reduce specification sets a predetermined first cut width CW1 and a predetermined first cut size CL1 . In addition, the first minimize specification might further set a predetermined first sectional minimize width SCW1.
By means of instance, it’s known to supply tobacco reduce filler comprising minimize rolled stems having a predetermined rolled thickness and minimize to a predetermined width. In order to enhance the style and burning characteristics of the tobacco stem to be used in the reduce filler, the stems are sometimes first subjected to a number of remedy procedures. In addition, or in its place, it is known to mix a reconstituted tobacco materials with the lamina.
Before each measurement was taken, tobacco particles cut in accordance with the assorted reduce specifications had been saved in a conditioned room for twenty-four hours. For each specification, three measurements of the CCV had been taken on the five samples, after which the whole average was calculated and assumed because the effective CCV of the specification. Between repetitions of the measurements, the samples have been ready by detangling the person strands, so that any compaction occurred during the previous measurement would have as little influence as potential on the subsequently measured CCV. In some embodiment, the reduce length distribution among the reduce strips of the first tobacco material is ideally unimodal.
In different embodiments, the reduce size distribution among the cut strips of the primary tobacco materials may be multimodal, together with specifically bimodal and trimodal. The “reduce size” of a strip of cut tobacco materials for incorporation in reduce fillers according to the current invention refers to the most dimension of the strip of the tobacco materials resulting from the cutting operation, that is the maximum measurable distance between two points on the reduce strip. When taking a look at a cut strip under a microscope, it will usually be possible to look at the course along which the reduce strip extends over such larger length .
In particular, one such strip may comprise no less than a primary strip structure comprising a branching node from which a further strip structure branches off, forming an angle with the first strip structure. The moisture content material of the tobacco cut filler is expressed herein as “percent oven volatiles”, which is set by measuring the percentage weight loss from the reduce filler upon drying the material in an oven at 103 levels Centigrade (°C) for one hundred minutes. It is assumed that a big majority of the weight loss from the cut filler outcomes from the evaporation of moisture. A method in accordance with any considered one of claims 15 to 17, whereby the second tobacco material is a reconstituted tobacco sheet.
These irregular items are supposed to be similar in measurement to tobacco lamina, such that they are often blended with the tobacco lamina and reduce. In particular, the blend is typically cut into particles having a predetermined minimize width. However, as a result of the reconstituted tobacco sheet is somewhat randomly ripped into items, the tobacco fibres are usually not aligned in a uniform course . Tobacco rods have been ready from a tobacco cut filler utilizing tobacco particles minimize in accordance with the specs of Figures 1 1 and 12. In particular, a first couple of blends had been used, that contained eighty five p.c by weight of natural tobacco particles and 15 percent by weight of reconstituted tobacco particles reduce in accordance with specifications of Figures 1 1 and 12, respectively.
Half Zware Normally made from Virginia, dark-fired, darkish air-cured tobaccos. Zware Contains a higher proportion of dark-fired or air-cured tobaccos and less Virginia tobacco than Half Zware. Zware means “heavy” or “darkish”, so Zware tobacco is darker – in each colour and taste – than Half Zware. A methodology in accordance with declare 15 or 16, wherein the primary tobacco material is a pre-processed tobacco material tobacco pipe. With pressed cuts, the tobacco is placed underneath excessive pressure and ranging degrees of warmth for an prolonged time frame. A bit of fermentation also happens during the process, which provides the tobacco a fuller, rounder taste.
